Chaska’s new Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan will help its residents access a safe, convenient and inviting Active Transportation network.
Located in the western edge of the Twin Cities metro area, and with a growing population of 26,500 people, the city has numerous assets in place - including a growing network of parks and trails, beautiful natural and agricultural landscapes, thriving industry and commerce, and a vital and historic downtown.
Mobility Hubs are places where people connect with a variety of shared transportation modes - from shared bikes to scooters, transit, ride hailing, shared cars and more.
Working for the Metropolitan Council as part of a multi-disciplinary project team, CDG is developing planning guidance for the hubs and identifying locations throughout the metro area where they can be successfully deployed.
Glencoe is a thriving community of almost 6,000 residents, located about an hour west of the Twin Cities on Highway 212. The City, offering a great mix of strong businesses, excellent schools, extensive parks, and great people, is poised to grow. Residents and leaders want to proactively work together to orient that growth so it meets residents' ideas and aspirations for their community.
The City of Rogers is a prosperous and growing community in northern Hennepin County, with a population of 13,150 residents. The city has grown rapidly, almost quadrupling in size since 2000, when its population was 3,600. Its downtown area is generally characterized by auto-oriented development with disconnected buildings, large parking lots, and low walkability, though it also includes a small finer-grained district with pedestrian-scaled storefronts, sidewalk-fronting buildings and historic façades.
CDG was selected by the City of Fergus Falls to lead development of its new Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
The City, a thriving community with a population of 13,500 residents in west-central Minnesota, is seeking to capitalize on its many assets - including its relatively compact size - to grow trips by foot or bike.
Its new Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan focuses on building an “All Ages and Abilities” walking and biking network - an ambitious goal for a small / rural community.
CDG is working as part of a multi-disciplinary team to develop the City of East Grand Forks Land Use Plan Update.
The Land Use Plan is a long-range guiding document for how the City will manage growth and development over the next 30 years. It is updated every 5 years to respond to changes within the community and includes a wide range of topics, including population and employment projections, housing, transportation, land use, and how to develop sustainably.
CDG is providing the following services toward development of the plan:
The City of Golden Valley is working to address the need for affordable housing for its existing and future residents. Recently, the City identified eight publicly-owned sites that it is considering for use as affordable housing.
CDG is working as part of a consultant team to develop a plan for engaging residents living in the vicinity of the parcels - and the city overall - to participate in a design conversation about the configuration of each of the specific sites as well as for discussion of general affordable housing topics.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) will provide the organizing vision and direction for all of the State of North Dakota's transportation investments and initiatives over the next twenty years.
CDG is leading all pedestrian and bicycle-related components of the LRTP, working as part of the multi-disciplinary team selected by NDDOT for this effort.
CDG's work includes:
We're working with local partners to develop three new bikeways in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. The bikeways will provide important safety and connectivity improvements across the city, and are part of a larger, currently planned network of fifteen major bikeways. The bikeways feature latest safety and user comfort features informed by guidance from NACTO and the Ciclociudades manual (jointly developed by ITDP Mexico and the Dutch Bicycle Embassy).
Marshalltown Iowa is the county seat for Marshall County and a prosperous community of about 28,000 people located in central Iowa.
